Kitchen Table Lingo is brilliant. I was just describing to [livejournal.com profile] nexstarman how a friend's dog was trying to insinuate her head under my hand for a skritch. Now there's a word for it.

I remember the "frankie hankie" it's a piece of paper you keep handy to put Frank on when he's sitting on the paper you want.


Thnaks for the Kitchen Lingo link. I really laughed.

Just came to drop off a link to a science website - it's also a bi-monthly magazine, fantastically written. Here!

There's always something new to look at, even if it's just an editorial or even some original fiction. I've subscribed to it, and have never looked back. :D
